Former employees of the controversial clothing brand Junique Fashion have come forward with serious allegations of undeclared work. Testimonies obtained by VRT NWS detail a work environment where formal contracts were allegedly non-existent for some staff members.
Several shop employees have shared their experiences, stating they never received a contract outlining their employment terms. Furthermore, they claim that a portion of their wages was paid in cash directly from the store's till. These practices raise significant concerns about labor law compliance and worker protections at the company.
The revelations follow earlier complaints regarding delivery issues and poor communication associated with Junique Fashion. The accumulation of these grievances has drawn the attention of authorities.
In response to the mounting allegations, Minister of Consumer Protection Rob Beenders has initiated an investigation into the clothing brand. This official inquiry aims to examine the validity of the claims and determine whether Junique Fashion has violated labor regulations.
